What’s new over and above the £1B whales ?4 Mar 2023 11:08
We know via MM this week that My Protein is in the IP/Brand game, Iceland for example do all the heavy lifting THG do the clever bit, the scope for more of this is huge
2 weeks ago it was disclosed we have the JV with Auto store (AS), in affect Ingenuity becomes an API platform connecting AS with the 3rd party user who will pay 30% upfront then PAYC subscription, no need for big capex it’s all about using the skill base THG have built up the past few years
It’s Ocado ( capex ) lite model, we do the selling/ API side, the 3rd party manages the stock and last mile, high margin for THG
Suggest the market is looking at the above and the news of U.K. Plc’s listing in USA coupled with Mouldings comments and possibly sound bites from the CFO indicating a USA listing of sorts is on the table
List Ingenuity USA, raise the funds, disconnect financially the Core businesses doing £2B Rev and generating good cash, it’s a logical progression
As such I think the market is looking past the £1B whales revenue - notice comments saying will we fall without an RNS on this point ? - that’s now a bonus on top linked to an Ingenuity spin off / fund raise
